When summer hits its peak, people often take time off from
work for a little rest and relaxation. Eighty-eight percent of
Americans contacted for a recent survey said they plan to take a
summer vacation this year, according to research released
by Orbitz.

Unfortunately, the opposite could probably be said of
entrepreneurs, according to the results of research by OfficeTeam, a staffing
service, about vacation mistakes made by managers.

One-third of the senior managers surveyed believed the biggest
mistake they made during their last vacation was
not taking off enough time. Why? Managers are hesitant to leave
the office because they fear their absence will negatively affect
staff productivity. Thirdly They’re also sometimes unable to
relax while away: One-fourth of the managers polled said
they’re unable to take their mind off work, and 22 percent of
them said they check in with their office too frequently.
